We received an award from the John Hoppla society for our project work on the history of Llanhari over the past 80 years. The whole school worked on the project entitled 'Happy Birthday Mr Francis' and had to present their work to visiting assessors. Scott and Devon represented the school at the Council Chambers in Clydach.

80th Birthday Celebrations

We all enjoyed our history project about Llanharry over the past 80 years. Mr Francis helped us with our research and we celebrated his birthday in style! Our celebrations were published online and were in the newspaper.

Our
school provides a safe, secure environment where pupils encounter opportunity
for success in learning and living. Valued as an individual regardless of race,
religion, gender or disability, each pupil is positively encouraged to
contribute to the total of the school community.

At
Llanhari pupils will be encouraged to make the most of their talents, to
develop their personality and grow both morally and spiritually. The education
pupils receive will serve to foster discipline and high personal standards
achieved in a positive, caring atmosphere, which permeates everything the pupil
encounters in school. Pupils are encouraged to develop self -esteem and self
confidence through a range of extra curriculum activities.

At Llanhari we are committed to valuing and building on the child's
earliest experiences, however limited. A positive, mutually supportive
relationship between home and school is valued. Through a well established
pastoral framework pupils are encouraged to develop happily with a sense of
value and purpose.

Our School Aims

To develop a warm caring secure
environment which encourages each pupil to recognise their value both as
an individual and a member of the school community.

Each child is encouraged to
develop his / her fullest potential in a happy, caring, stimulating
atmosphere.

We aim to ensure pupils acquire
the necessary basic skills for life and consequently the curriculum will
enable the child to:-

effectively

mathematical concepts effectively

which we live, groups and nations and appreciate human achievement.
